Could you post a screenshot or something similar?

Most of the marketing people don't have write access to the website and thus
can't see how it looks like.

Due to SSL certificate restrictions I can't login either.

Not really, just not enough time to comment all interesting topics...

And as you seem to handle this topic quite well, there seemed to be no urgent 
need to step in...

The main point is:

We should use the calender being the easiest to work with.

In my eyes this contains on the input side:
- adding of events by everybody (even without login)
- approval of added events to avoid spam/scam etc
- categorizing
- keep previous events for next year planning

On the output/visitor side:
- browsing and searching by time, category and name
- combined view of categories (or multiple categories like "german" and "linux")
- links to relevant web pages from singe entries
